Flavorful Curry Sauce
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 tablespoons ground coriander
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 serrano chile peppers, seeded
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup yogurt, whisked until smooth
  • 3 cups water
Instructions
1
Gather all the necessary ingredients beforehand.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil and margarine in a small skillet or wok over a moderately high heat setting. Add the onion to the pan and cook until it reaches an extremely dark brown color, taking around 10 to 15 minutes - be sure not to overcook the onion as this can affect the overall taste of the sauce.
3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions, stirring for an additional 2 minutes to allow their flavors to meld together.
4
Transfer the mixture from the skillet or wok to a food processor and blend until it reaches a smooth, uniform consistency. Make sure not to clean the food processor as any remaining onion particles will still be present.
5
Transfer the blended onion mixture into a large saucepan and stir in an assortment of spices including coriander, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and turmeric. Cook over low heat until the mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency.
6
Purée tomatoes, chile peppers, and cilantro in the food processor until a smooth puree is achieved.
7
Add the tomato puree to the onion mixture and stir over low heat, allowing excess moisture from the tomatoes and peppers to evaporate.
8
Add a small amount of yogurt gradually, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps or curdling issues that may arise.
9
Blend the mixture in the food processor until it reaches a smooth, even consistency.
10
Return the sauce to the saucepan and add water. Increase the heat to high and bring the sauce to a rolling boil. Cover the saucepan and let it boil for 3 to 5 minutes.
11
Reduce heat and simmer until the desired consistency is reached.
